Baby Blues answered the call yesterday. Four combined career playoff points going into the game, six combined last night alone.  
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see a different Kootenay team tonight now that they know the standard the playoffs will be played with. Look for them to really press early to get the first goal.  
 
Look for the Wheat Kings to fire a lot of pucks at Todd Matthews early after forcing him to be pulled last night. If they can get an early goal or two, look out..  
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see a few more people in the crowd once word gets around of how entertaining last night was.  
 
Check the front page of the site starting at 6:30 for another live pre-game video stream.  
 
I'll also post scratches around 6:30... being playoffs, teams may not disclose line combos prior to game time.
